A complex control panel whose knobs have all been replaced with the menacing red eye of HAL9000 from Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' A skeletal figure on one side of the image reaches out a bony finger to twiddle one of the knobs.

Is this the cover of some synth weirdo's album?
“Our electrically configured world has forced us to move from the habit of #DataClassification to the mode of #PatternRecognition.”
- Marshall McLuhan, 1967
Ours is a brand new world of
allatonceness. "Time" has ceased. "Space"
has vanished. We now live in a global
village...a simultaneous happening. We are
back in acoustic space. We have begun
again to structure the primordial feeling,
the tribal emotions from which a few
centuries of literacy divorced us. We have
had to shift our stress of attention from
action to reaction. ... Electronic circuitry
profoundly involves men with one another.
Information pours upon us,
instantaneously and continuously. Our
electrically configured world has forced us
to move from the habit of data
classification to the mode of pattern
recognition. We can no longer build
serially, block-by-block, step-by-step,
because instant communication insures
that all the factors of the environment and
of experience coexist in the state of active
interplay.
- The Medium Is The Message. McLuhan
& Fiore (1967, p. 63)
